A host of youngsters from the south-west have done all they can to raise a significant amount of money for military charity Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
Members of the Taunton Scouts and Guides have handed over a cheque for £2,500 to the charity's south-west regional representative Richard Lupton, reports the Somerset County Gazette.<\/p>\n
It has put on a series of shows over the last two years that have allowed it to collect the huge fund.<\/p>\n
Dave Mullen, director of the Taunton Scout and Guide Gang Show, said: "It is quite an achievement and the money will help with running their rehabilitation centres. They have to raise millions of pounds every year just to keep things ticking over."<\/p>\n
He added it is the most the group has ever managed to raise through its fundraising efforts.<\/p>\n
Some tickets for the group's show at the Junction24 venue close to Bridgwater are still on sale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
